For many Singaporean teens, getting into Zouk is a coming-of-age tradition of sorts — it’s a time when young adults party hard at the iconic nightclub before they get to the age where they realize there are actually other places to frolic.
Anyway, 10 teens who really wanted to get turnt at the Clarke Quay hot spot are currently being investigated for attempting to enter Zouk (as well as the newly opened Get Juiced) by way of forged stamps, Channel NewsAsia reported. Just to avoid paying the entry fee at those clubs.
Between August and September, the police received three separate reports about people trying their luck to enter the premises with entry stamps duplicated via a classic manoeuvre — sticking it on each other through skin contact. How it works is that wrists with genuine entry stamps are pressed onto other wrists, leaving a duplicated ink mark.
“It was also established that several of these individuals did not meet the legal age requirement to enter the public entertainment outlets,” noted the police, adding that investigations against the suspects are still ongoing.
Should the teens be found guilty of forgery for the purpose of cheating, they can face up to 10 years in jail and a fine — which is a way too steep a cost just for a free night on Zouk’s dance floor, legendary as it may be.
